Because technical occupations change rapidly, initial employment in an AAS Degree-related field must occur within one year of graduation from the AAS Degree program in question. Retraining needs to occur as cost effectively as possible. The graduate's employer must present a list of the graduate's skill deficiencies to the appropriate vice president or designee at the graduate's alma mater. All retraining will be completed in a reasonable time as agreed to by the employer, the student, and the college. LICENSURE DISCLAIMER Maricopa Community Colleges courses and programs prepare students for entry into a variety of professions. Many of these professions require that a person hold an occupational license or certificate in order to work in a particular field. Typically, a person must meet certain legal requirements before obtaining such a license or certificate. These requirements are established by county, state or federal agencies, and often are based on a person’s character, or whether the person has been convicted of a criminal offense. It is possible for a student who has obtained a degree or certificate from a community college to be denied the right to work in a particular profession after completing the degree or certificate because of concerns over the student’s character or criminal background. Any student preparing to enter a field for which a professional license or certificate is required is strongly advised to consult with the appropriate government agency that issues such credentials. That agency can provide the student complete information about any requirements the law imposes for working in a particular occupation. MCCCD GENERAL EDUCATION STATEMENT The general education core of the program of study for an associate degree or a certificate helps students develop a greater understanding of themselves, of their relationship with others, and of the richly diverse world in which they live. The general education experience provides students with opportunities to explore broad areas of commonly held knowledge and prepares them to contribute to society through personal, social, and professional interactions with others. General education fosters students' personal development by opening them to new directions, perspectives, and processes. Through its general education requirements, the Maricopa County Community College District is committed to helping students develop qualities and skills that will serve them throughout their lives. General education opportunities encourage students to: • Build self-awareness, self-respect, and self- confidence • Recognize and respect the beliefs, traditions, abilities, and customs of all people and all cultures • Consider the local, global, and environmental impacts of personal, professional, and social decisions and actions • Access, evaluate, analyze, synthesize, and use information wisely • Communicate effectively personally, socially, and professionally • Think critically, make informed decisions, solve problems, and implement decisions • Consider the ethical implications of their choices • Value the learning process throughout their lives • Integrate and connect ideas and events in a historical perspective, and see relationships among the past, the present, and the future • Develop a personal sense of aesthetics • Use technological resources appropriately and productively • Work cooperatively and respectfully with others to serve their communities The general education experience at MCCCD is composed of specific elements across the curriculum designed to provide the learner with essential knowledge and skills: • Communication • Arts and Humanities • Numeracy • Scientific Inquiry in the Natural and Social Sciences • Information Literacy • Problem-Solving and Critical Thinking • Cultural Diversity GENERAL EDUCATION DESIGNATIONS (example: [FYC], [SB], [HU], etc.) Effective Fall 2000 the course evaluation and/or general education designation as listed in the Arizona CEG (Course Equivalency Guide) within the Arizona Course Applicability System (AZCAS) is valid for the term in which the student is awarded credit on the transcript. A course evaluation and/or general education designation may be subject to change. Given that curriculum is dynamic at both MCCCD and the institutions to which MCCCD students transfer, students have the option to petition for general education evaluations and/or general education designations. The college reserves the right to make necessary course and program changes in order to meet current educational standards. Transcripts For Transfer (AR 2.3.10) The transcript is issued upon written request only. Those students who want to transfer to other institutions of higher education, including other Maricopa Community Colleges, must request their transcripts be sent from the Admissions and Records Office/Office of Student Enrollment Services. However, transcripts may be shared within the Maricopa Community College District without the written request of the student in compliance with FERPA. Official transcripts will not be issued to students having outstanding debts to any of the Maricopa Community Colleges. The release of transcripts is governed by the guidance of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (see Records Policy in the Student Rights and Responsibilities section). There is no charge for unofficial transcripts, or for official transcripts sent between Maricopa Community Colleges. See the Tuition and Fees Schedule for charges for other official transcripts. Academic Misconduct (AR 2.3.11) A. Definitions 1. Academic Misconduct - includes misconduct associated with the classroom, laboratory or clinical learning process. Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, excessive absences, use of abusive or profane language, and disruptive and/or threatening behavior. 2. Cheating - includes, but is not limited to, (a) use of any unauthorized assistance in taking quizzes, tests, assessment tests or examinations; (b) dependence upon the aid of sources beyond those authorized by the faculty member in writing papers, preparing reports, solving problems, or carrying out other assignments; or (c) the acquisition, without permission, of tests or other academic material belonging to a member of the college faculty or staff. 3. Plagiarism - includes, but is not limited to, the use of paraphrase or direct quotation of the published or unpublished work of another person without full and clear acknowledgment. It also includes the unacknowledged use of materials prepared by another person or agency engaged in the selling of term papers or other academic materials. Information gathered from the internet and not properly identified is also considered plagiarism. MCCCD Common Policies
